Predators Cats: Although cats are usually the go-to animal for mice hunting, they are generally less effective than most people assume. Usually the mice hide in places that a cat cannot reach and although the catâs odor is supposed to scare mice, it can eventually attract mice once they get used to the smell.
They can also act as pest and disease carriers, transporting additional problems such as fleas or ringworm. Thankfully, if you find mice digging holes in your yard, you have several solutions â physical, cultural and chemical â to remedy the problem. Mice populations in gardens and yards can quickly be controlled using the simple snap-style mouse trap sold in most home and hardware stores.
For the first time we are having a problem with chipmunk's borrowing holes all over our yard. They have dug little holes all over the place. They dig right through my mulch and weed barrier cloth that we paid to have make the place look more manicured!DnBAMA (7/Alabama). You can cover the holes, fill them with rocks or whatever but they WILL dig out somewhere else. They are cute varments but so destructive to lawns. I have holes in my lawn from them but get fed up with it every few weeks & have to rig the 'chipper dipper' to eradicate them.
